tired, i ask you to vote for real change. paul ryan and i will bring real change to america from day one. when i'm elected the economy and american jobs will still be stagnant, but i won't waste any time complaining about my predecessor. >> this was the second of four events romney had scheduled for today. next up for the republican candidate is pennsylvania. so america has 50 states, but it's the key battleground state where is the race just might be decided come tuesday. right now cnn estimates that nine states shown here on the make or break states. president obama or 34mitt romne to wing the who is. there's to the all important state of ohio with 18 electoral votes. virginia is one of those key battleground states as well. it's a state that favored barack obama back in 2008, but now the state's electoral votes are very much up for grabs. joining us from bluemont, virginia. virginia jones, what is on the minds of people there in virginia other than that pumpkin smashing you have been seeing all day at great country farms? >> that's right, fredericka, we have been here watching people

in july. and for bungling that foreign trip to england, israel and poland. he announced paul ryan as his running mate but that didn't produce the bump he needed. as the focus of the race turned to medicare and the ryan budget. the republican convention was disrupted by weather and a guy talking to an empty chair. and then mid september, the leaked video of mitt romney's 47% remark surfaced. the first presidential debate, romney bested obama in front of 66 million people and began to benefit from mement tum. and then hurricane sandy hit. on tuesday romney will try to unseat an incumbent president, he's trying to knock a party out of power after just one term. while the president is targeting each part of his coalition with a handful of small arguments, romney is counting on winning the large one. >> he made a lot of promises, but those promises he couldn't keep. and the difference between us, he made promises he couldn't keep, i'm making promises i have kept and i will keep them for the american people. >> so where does that leave us? the two campaigns believe passionately in two differen

of yourselves to this campaign. this is not just about paul ryan and me. it is about america. it is about the future we will leave our children. we thank you and we ask you to stay at it until we win on tuesday night. now, the closing hours of a campaign have a dynamic all their own. many voters have already made up their minds. i figure you guys are. you know what you are going to do. there are others who are putting aside the demands of daily living and they are considering who to vote for and how that vote will affect their lives and the laws of their children and the course of the country we love. and we ask them to look beyond the speeches and the attacks and the ads. look to the records, the cosmos, the failures, and the judgments, -- the accomplishments -- because words are cheap. the record is real and it is earned with effort. change can't be measured in speeches. it is measured in achievements. and four years ago, candidate obama promised to do so very much. but he has fallen so very short. i mean, he promised he would be opposed as partisan president. but he has been most parti

-worker to vote for paul ryan and me. let's make sure every single person we know gets out and votes on tuesday. what makes this rally and all your work so inspiring his putt -- is that you are here because you care about america. this campaign is about the future we are going to leave to our children. i want you to stay with us all the way to victory on tuesday night. it is possible that some of your friends or family members have not made up their mind to vote 4. let me suggest when you talk to them -- have not made up their mind to vote for. let me suggest when you talk to them to tell them to look past the speeches. change cannot be measured in speeches. it is measured in achievement. four years ago, candidate obama promised to do so much, but he has fallen so short. he has promised to be a post partisan president, but he has been so partisan. it is not just republicans he has refused to listen to, but also independent voices. he said he was born to focus on creating jobs, but he focused on obamacare -- he was going to focus on creating jobs, but he focused on obamacare, which killed jobs.

biden and representative paul ryan have very different views on how to apply their faith to their politics. >> life begins at conception. that's the church's judgment. i accept it in my personal life. but i refuse to impose it on equally devout christians and muslims and jews and -- i just refuse to impose that on others, unlike my friend here, the congressman. >> i don't see how a person can separate their public life from their private life or from their faith. our faith informs us in everything we do. >> in many ways, those differences mirror differences among grassroots catholic voters. at one end of the spectrum are strongly conservative catholics who tend to stress issues around abortion. at the other end are more liberal catholics who stress issues of economic justice. then there are those in the middle. >> there are, if you will, biden catholics and ryan catholics, and both campaigns are struggling very hard to get those groups mobilized. but then there are a lot of catholics who are in the middle, who might agree with the republicans on one issue and with the dem

wgn news. >> republican candidates met ryan and paul ryan are blitzing the battleground states on this final weekend before election day. romney was an iowa for an early-morning rally today. moving on to new hampshire he reminded supporters of what he has called obama is broken promises to the american people >> he was going to get unemployment down to 5.2 percent right now. we just learned it is up to 7.9% >> he then moved on to colorado. his running mate paul ryan wasn't pennsylvania introducing his family to supporters. then he was off to virginia >> meanwhile president obama is pushing his campaign through the midwest with stops in milwaukee in ohio. the president disputed romney's charges of partisanship and divisiveness >> when we cut taxes for middle- class families, that was bipartisan. there are some republicans in the senate who voted with us >> moving on to mentor, ohio -- mr. obama touted his administration's bailout of the auto industry. ohio relies heavily on the auto industry -- and republican romney has criticized the government-orchestrated rescue as ultim

, iowa and pennsylvania. despite the talk about adding paul ryan to the ticket and scaring seniors who were, you know, afraid of losing medicare benefits, they have been loyal, romney supporters throughout? >> yeah. whatever happens on tuesday, what we will learn and this is true at comingal level and the house and senate race, adding paul ryan to the ticket and the idea that they are going to voucherrize medicare didn't end up having a significant political impact. i think that's something we know, regardless of who wins. >> bill: but it helped to put wisconsin in play, so maybe the impact is to the positive. >> we will have to find out. >> bill: david druker, thank you. >> any time. >> i think the polittization of this has been unprecedented. but the important thing is that we have to fully understand, what happened here and take the lessons forth so we can protect the diplomats doing heroic work. >> the reaction calling for a congressional investigation into the benghazi terror attack, as the white house says, it too, wants to get to the bottom of what happened. what happened led to

in cleveland. ohio is the only at a time that is getting visits from the governor, his running mate paul ryan, president obama and vice president joe biden. the governor also visited ohio on friday night and that event drew huge crowds. estimates ranging from the 20,000 and 30,000 but to give you a better idea. how every single vote will be, a new poll shows that the election is in a dead heat. both men getting 48% support among likely voters. one person who will break down all the results on tuesday night joining me now. you know him well. host of power play on fox news. you have an important role because you are part of the decision desk and one of those guys that needs to make a call in the laugh. that is scary position to be in? >> never a doubt, no fear whatsoever. it's totally cool. >> you know what you are doing. i respect the work you do. its true group of professionals. i wanted to talk about the polls. columbus dispatch in ohio has it toss-up, in the president's favor. tribune in pennsylvania does a poll that showing it tied up in pennsylvania. tied in pennsylvania! that was suppose

final days in virginia. today it was paul ryan who headlined rallies for the gop ticket in richmond. with paul showing virginia the closest of battlegrounds, ryan appealed directly for help in turning out the vote. >> when we talk to that friend, relative, neighbor, the light, hope, change in 2008 and know now it was an empty promise. we will wake up on the morning of wednesday november 7th and know we met the moment as a country. >> this is president ball's last scheduled visit before the election. the vice president comes to sterling on monday. and mitt romney spends the next two days in the commonwealth, he'll be in fairfax on monday. julie carrie, news 4. >>> mitt romney was in colorado for a campaign rally, a denver post survey usa poll shows president obama with a slight lead in this state. romney asked the crowd for their support on election day. and he criticized the president's recent comments about voting. >> you probably heard about this. he asked his supporters to vote for revenge. i asked the american people to vote for love of country. >> tomorrow romney will travel to

older, i got a lot of fight left in me. >> paul ryan and i will limit government instead of limiting the dreams of our fellow americans. >> this is mitt romney's favorite time of the year -- favorite day, because he officially gets to turn back the clock. that's what he does. he does it officially. >> two more days! two more days! two more days! >> with the race deadlocked, it is a blitz of a battleground. president obama in new hampshire with his wing man, bill clinton. >> the polls say it's close and it could come down to what you decide. >> is it newfound confidence or desperation? governor romney and paul ryan go hunting for independents later in pennsylvania. and you came through. ♪ ♪ ♪ take my hand, we'll make it i swear ♪ ♪ living on a prayer >> we learn today that viewers donated nearly $23 million for sandy victims. ♪ under the boardwalk ♪ down by the sea yeah ♪ on a blanket with my baby ♪ is where i'll be >>> good day, i'm andrea mitchell, live at nbc's democracy plaza here in new york where we're going to bring you nonstop coverage of decision 2012. with

behind. new hampshire, ohio, paul ryan. >> when ibm president is going to be clear that we have and the administration with the government and the president and actually likes job creators. they want to help job creators. when -- i am president. >> when we can convince everybody to go to the polls to vote and we concurred look back on that day that our country is on the right track. this is a defining moment when we can do it. >> president obama was also in ohio. >> ohio, we know our ideas. we know they work. we also know that the ideas the other guys do not work. as we have tried those two. >> joe biden talked about the gop ticket at a campaign in colorado. >> by the way, i do not want to talk about that to the other guys they are decent guys, good fathers and they have a fundamentally different view of america. and a fundamentally different values set. >> florida value boaters'- lined up for the last early motive years-pour the election challenges of superstore sandy. storm sandy florida voters lined up. >> we can certainly see that arizona, north carolina are going towards mi

if president obama wins re-election. three if governor mitt romney wins. since vice president paul ryan would serve as the tiebreaker. 33 seats are up for grabs. >> it's possible, although it's looking increasingly unlikely that republicans will be able to gain control of the senate. >> why is that? for one thing there's main republican olympia snowe's unexpected retirement from a body she described as hopelessly partisan. republicans will likely lose that seat. then there are the self-inflicted wounds like this comment from republican todd akin who is running in missouri. >> if it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down. >> reporter: those words sparked an outcry, putting a victory over he democrat claire mccaskill, a top gop target in doubt. >> that was the gimmee. he said those comments, that race is very much in play. >> reporter: then there was this remark by indiana republican richard murdock, explaining why he opposes abortion even in cases of rape. >> life is a gift from god, and i think even when life begins in that horrible situation of rap

, the nation goes to the polls, which ticket will win? barack obama and joe biden, or mitt romney and paul ryan? or will it be a tie? 269 electrical votes, to 269 electoral votes. pat buchanan? >> the heart says romney/ryan, and head says too close to call, but i'm going to predict that romney/ryan will win all the 11 states of the old con fed racy, and barely win ohio and colorado, and he'll win with just over 270 electoral votes. >> obama biden will win with over 300 electoral votes, it will be a democratic senate, warren will win in massachusetts, and democrats will have 54 seats in the senate. >> i have to say i think this country really needs a change in leadership, given what's happened in the last four years, but i believe that owe -- obama will be reelected, it will be a close race, and ohio will make the difference, if romney carries ohio -- >> quickly -- >> close, i give obama the edge. i'm going to say 260. >> romney and ryan will win with 280 electoral votes. bye bye!

states. and their running mates are not far behind. new hampshire, ohio, mitt romney and paul ryan >> when i become president is going to be very clear we have an administration, government and a government action likes job creators. that was to help. >> we have made sure that we've done everything within our power to convince those people to go to the polls and vote. and let us look back on that day as the data we got a our country of our on the right track. we can do it. >> president obama was also in the state of ohio. >> the state of ohio, we know our ideas and we know that we were the work and the ideas of the other guys do not work. we have tried coast to. >> joe biden talked about the gop ticket ticket and colorado. >> by the way i am not one of these guys that say they are both good family man and beast and fathers. but they have a fundamental-test there both -- decent fathers. but they have a fundamentally different value set. >> florida, the district of columbia all lined up for early voting saturday. york is preparing for other voting preparations it because of the hurri

likely voters. that is close to the margin of error. host: his running mate, paul ryan, was here yesterday in harrisburg. why in this county? guest: it is one of the vote- rich areas. in many areas, the key for obama to win a second term in pennsylvania's 20 electoral votes is to win a very large in southeastern pennsylvania with pittsburgh and more these around scramble. -- northeast aroudn scranton. it remains one of the strong republican counties in the philadelphia area. it will be easy to draw a large crowd and he will get all of the free media from the television market. host: what is the governor's ground game like in that state? guest: some of teh super pac's were own their with commercials and it did not seem to move the needle much. i'm not sure that one week a last-minute movement on either side will do much. the romney campaign has been doing more door knocks, as they call them, then senator john mckay did in 2008. it is a big hurdle for them. -- and senator john mccain it did in 2008. they never really stopped working on that. i think both sides have formidable groun

crawled across the finish line. and his new junior partner, paul ryan, has given reluctant conservatives some hope. >> i want to hear what he has to say on this topic. >> but presidential politics is more than just piecing together coalitions. it's also about telling a story of who you are, what you believe and why you can be trusted. >> he's very professional. he's got a bit of new england in him. when he's out doing a job, he's going to do it professionally, but he's not the caricature the media or democrats want to portray. he's a very warm, caring guy. >> good morning. >> romney is trying to let people in, like wading into scripture as he speaks after the aurora, colorado, shootings. >> romney painted his own unflattering portrait and the damage endured. >> his problem during this campaign, if you look at the polls, is that a significant majority of people do not believe he understands their problems. and when he talked about the 47%, that only seemed to compound that problem. >> i think the first, most important thing is to recognize that that's not an accurate perception, that he's

and engaging person. i wish i had met that person. >> and now with paul ryan as his choice for vice president, what might a romney/ryan presidency look like? >> my belief is restoring economic freedom and making sure that we also get to a balanced budget at some point and then champion small business. >> he will come across s the candidate of the few, by the few, and for the few. >> he's the most qualified man to run for president in my memory. everything he's done, he's been successful. >> there's the left-hand turn onto sunset boulevard. >> yep. >> the year, 1994. in the news, the o.j. simpson case, the continuing brutal attacks by the serbs in sarajevo, and an an earthquake shakes southern california near northridge. meanwhile, in massachusetts, a little known businessman, willard mitt romney, announces his candidacy for the united states senate as a republican. it's his first run for political office. and his foe? one of the biggest icons of american politics, senator ted kennedy. >> some of us wondered, why would you want to take on ted kennedy in massachusetts as your first political ta

in pennsylvania where he stepped up campaign ads. his running mate congressman paul ryan campaigned there yesterday. they call the late charge by the republicans a smoke screen. >> to win romney would have to wynn two-thirds, and he won't do that. the truth is they are throwing ads up and governor romney is traveling in the states he is not going to win. >> the fact is, george, the unemployment rate is higher than the day president obama took office. millions of americans struggling to find work and the household income is down. that's what this campaign is about. them saying we need to keep doing this. we need more of the same essentially. we they'd four more years -- we need four more years like the last four years and governor romney promising change. >> so here is where the final battle its in the campaign will be fought with the repeat visits to key battleground states for independent and undecided voters who may ultimately decide the outcome of the race. you will want to stay with abc7 news. get realtime results on abc7news.com the moment the polls close. and we will have liv

announcer ] get more access with a citi card. [ crowd cheering, mouse clicks ] >>> all right, paul ryan was in his element today campaigning in green bay, wisconsin. the gop vice presidential candidate tailgated with packer fans outside the not quite so frozen tundra of lambeau field, but it's not likely ryan will find time to enjoy the game today. he has three campaigns on his schedule in ohio, minnesota and colorado. here's one way to win over the youth vote, perhaps. teams arrived to a rally. vice president biden did that in lake valley, ohio. he asked two seniors there if they would like a ride to the rally in his limo. he also chatted with voters and senior voters and told a 7-year-old, no dating until you're 30 years old, end quote. how will things change, perhaps, if president obama is defeated? i asked editor in chief of the economists how closely the international community might be paying attention. >> i think the world is now watching the race extremely closely. that always happens with american elections because the person who gets elected to the white house is the most powe

a coal worker to vote for paul ryan and i. it means the world to me. thank you very much. now, let's make sure that every single person we know gets out and votes on tuesday! what makes the rally so inspiring is you care about america. this is a campaign about our country and the future we leave to our children. we thank you. we ask you to stay at it all the way until victory on tuesday. it is possible some of your friendors family members have not made up their mind who to vote for. let me suggest you tell them to look beyond the speeches and the attacks and the ads and you look at the record of the people running for president. because, you see, talk is cheap. but a record is real. and it is earned with effort. change is measured in achievement. four years ago candidate obama promised to do so very much but he has fallen short. he promised to be a post partisan president. but he has been partisan dividing and attacking and blaming. he is refusing to listen to republicans and independent voices. he focused on obamacare and that killed jobs. he said he would cut the we deficit in half and

see here on the ground, david, in virginia, there is a lot of enthusiasm for mitt romney and paul ryan. i was with paul yesterday here in richmond. we're going to win this state, and i think we're going to win it a lot bigger than most people are predicting. yes for mitt romney and yes for george allen. >> leader, you're talking about the plan that mitt romney has. well, the president as he is making his final argument took on the sort of change that governor romney is offering. he was speaking last night in your state. >> we know what change looks like and what governor romney is selling ain't it. giving more power to the biggest banks isn't change. another $5 trillion tax cut for the wealthy, that's not change. refusing to answer questions about the details of your policies until after the election, that's definitely not change. >> how do you respond to that? >> well, did you hear anything that has to do with a solution to a problem in the president's short remarks there? no. that's the difference. mitt romney is offering solutions. and an answer to folks that are asking, the million

it to pick out people who bowl and say bowlers made paul ryan fine but what if you are doing is mailing letters to soldiers on active duty with the game of challenging them, that is a crime according to bobby kennedy. and i have to say, while al gore grabbed his ankles in 2000 after he read, personally read my story that was breaking in england. this was before the supreme court ruled that thousands of like people were banished from the voter rolls in florida and after john kerry med -- read my book armed madhouse, he said that is why they lost the election and one of the last bills he introduced to make the stuck illegal on its face. right now you have to prove that it's racially biased. they are going after old jewish ladies and going after native americans. one of their big targets in the south. they say, we are just trying to look for the fraudulent voter. oh yeah, the fraudulent voter. bad as the new red scare. that is the new sleeper cell, fraudulent voter. there could be a fraudulent voter in this room. more likely there would be a 90-foot tarantula in this room because in the la

in pennsylvania as well covering the running mate paul ryan, he had a big rally in harrisburg, pennsylvania. you have ryan there yesterday, and now today you're going to have mitt romney in suburban philadelphia, a crucial spinning part of the state. no republican has won a presidential election there since 1988. the polls have tightened. they have a ton of ads. that's all you saw on the commercial breaks were romney ads. a lot more of them than the obama ads. 20 electoral votes at stake. they may have a chance here, they think. the obama campaign is saying the opposite. they say it's a sign of desperation that he can't win in other battleground states like ohio, wisconsin, and iowa. we'll find out who is right on november 6th, right? >> we certainly will. so much to watch. paul steinhauser, thank you so much. >>> wolf blitzer and anderson cooper take a closer look at the candidates' final push before the elections. in america's choice 2012 countdown to election day, be sure to tune in tonight at 8:00 p.m. eastern time. >>> well, life is slowly returning to normal for those affected by superstor

to this campaign. this is not just about paul ryan and me. it is about america. it is about the future we will leave our children. we thank you and we ask you to stay at it until we win on tuesday night. now, the closing hours of a campaign have a dynamic all their own. many voters have already made up their minds. i figure you guys are. you know what you are going to do. there are others who are putting aside the demands of daily living and they are considering who to vote for and how that vote will affect their lives and the lives of their children and the course of the country we love. and we ask them to look beyond the speeches and the attacks and the ads. look to the records, the cosmos, the failures, and the judgments, -- the accomplishments -- because words are cheap. the record is real and it is earned with effort. change can't be measured in speeches. it is measured in achievements. and four years ago, candidate obama promised to do so very much. but he has fallen so very short. i mean, he promised he would be a post-partisan president. but he has been most partisan. dividing, at

was undecided on yesterday, right when i got in, i felt like mitt romney and paul ryan would be better for the economy. host: you went in not knowing? caller: not knowing at all. host: but when it came down to it? what was the deciding factor for you? caller: the economy. i've weighed everything and said it was bigger than anything else of this point. host: who did you vote for in 2008? caller: president obama." -- president obama. host: you are one of those swing voters in a swing state. caller: i was not the only one in line yesterday. a lot of african-americans there said they were undecided and i was very shocked, i thought i was the only met romney supporter in line, but i may not have been. those other issues, abortion and all of that, with hash themselves out. it would take an actual act of the supreme court, when it came to health care and things like that. right now the economy is more important to me. host: thank you very much for the call. we will be talking politics on "and newsmakers" live at 10:00 eastern time. our congress -- our conversation will be with debbie wasserma

both looking over their shoulders. >> you mentioned paul ryan. of course i cannot go on without asking about him and the role that he has played in this congress and the degree to which his celebrity is embraced by other republicans who are presumably, as you say, as ambitious as the. he is the one who kind of got out. he is the one who rose above the others to be plucked as mitt romney's running mate. is everybody in the republican leaders have for that matter the republican ranks happy to see in there? is the resentment of him? to their respective as much as they are said to for his brain and his facility with numbers? >> they do respect him, and i think that there are those -- the people who resent and distressed paul ryan in the republican party are the members of the so-called tuesday group, which is the group, the waiting in member group of moderate republicans in the hand. they resented the imposition, the so-called ryan budget as the republican house budget. that budget, by the way, and brian's budget pancaking around for several years when he was the ranking member of the hous
